FLANIGAN’S ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 3, 2010


(1)           BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying financial information for the periods ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 are unaudited.  Financial information as of October 3, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated have been included.  For further information regarding the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2009.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of the nine limited partnerships in which we act as general partner and have controlling interests.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the nine limited partnerships.

These financial statements include estimates relating to performance based officers’ bonuses.  The estimates are reviewed periodically and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.  Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may take in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

(2)           EARNINGS PER SHARE:

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Section 260 - “Earnings per Share” (FASB ASC 260).  This section provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  The data on Page 3 shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  As of July 3, 2010, no stock options were outstanding.

(3)           RECLASSIFICATION:

Certain amounts in the fiscal year 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2010 presentation.  The reclassifications had no effect on consolidated net income.

(4)           RECENT ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Adopted

In December 2007, the FASB issued changes regarding business combinations.  These changes establish principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  These changes also establish disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the

8


nature and financial effects of the business combination.  These changes were adopted by us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and will have an impact on our accounting for any future business acquisitions.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued changes regarding consolidation and non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements.  These changes impacted the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which are now recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity.  This new consolidation method significantly changed the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders.  These changes were adopted by us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued changes regarding derivatives and hedging to enhance disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities.  These changes were adopted by us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010. As we do not currently engage in derivative transactions or hedging activities, these changes do not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Issued
 
In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-21 - Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules—This Accounting Standards Update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-21 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 
In February 2010, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance related to subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts with current United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance. Effective immediately, these amendments remove the requirement that an SEC filer disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – A Scope Clarification. This ASU clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance and also clarifies that the decrease in ownership guidance in Subtopic 810-10 does not apply to: (a) sales of in substance real estate; and (b) conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights, even if these transfers involve businesses. The amendments in this ASU also expand the disclosure requirements about deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets. ASU 2010-02 is effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this accounting standard will have an effect on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non wholly-owned businesses acquired in the future.

In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  In addition, these changes require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosures related to an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  These changes become effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be adopted by us in our fiscal year 2011.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of these changes on consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

(5)           EXTENSION OF LEASE FOR REAL PROPERTY:

Lake Worth, Florida

During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, our lease for our restaurant located at  2405 10th Avenue N., Lake Worth, Florida, (Store #12),  was extended for a period of three years, with a one three year renewal option in our favor. The renewal terms are substantially the same as our existing lease, including that the annual rent is subject to fixed annual increases.

(6)           DEBT:

Line of Credit

Under a secured line of credit with an unaffiliated third party financial institution we were able to borrow up to $2,500,000 until June 5, 2010, subject to certain conditions.  The outstanding balance on our line of credit bore interest at BBA LIBOR 1 month rate, plus 2.25%, (2.600% as of July 3, 2010), with monthly payments of interest only and the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest was due in full on June 5, 2010.  We granted our lender a security interest in substantially all of our assets and a second mortgage on our corporate offices as collateral to secure our repayment obligations under our credit line.  During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we paid monthly installments of interest payments, with no borrowings or principal payments.  As of July 3, 2010, the amount outstanding under the line of credit was $1,586,000, with no remaining availability.  As more fully discussed under Note 11 Subsequent Events, subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we converted the amount outstanding on our line of credit to a term loan due July, 2013. Since the line of credit was re-financed for a period of time in excess of twelve (12) months it has been re-classified as a long term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Financed Insurance Premiums

(i)  For the policy year beginning December 30, 2008, our property insurance is a two (2) year policy with our insurance carrier.  The two (2) year property insurance premium is $631,000 and is financed in full through an unaffiliated third party lender.  The finance agreement earns interest at the rate of 5.15% per annum and is amortized over 20 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $30,000.  The finance agreement is secured by a security interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments thereof.

(ii)  For the policy year beginning December 30, 2009, our general liability insurance, excluding limited partnerships, is a one (1) year policy with our insurance carriers, including automobile and excess liability coverage.  The one (1) year general liability insurance premiums, including automobile and excess liability coverage, total in the aggregate $243,000, of which $199,000 is financed through the same unaffiliated third party lender.  The finance agreement earns interest at the rate of 2.99% per annum and is amortized over 10 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $20,000.  The finance agreement is secured by a security interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments thereof.

(iii)  For the policy year beginning December 30, 2009, our general liability insurance for our limited partnerships is a one (1) year policy with our insurance carriers, including excess liability coverage.  The one (1) year general liability insurance premiums, including excess liability coverage, total, in the aggregate $205,000, of which $146,000 is financed through the same unaffiliated third party lender.  The finance agreement earns interest at the rate of 2.99% per annum and is amortized over 11 months, with monthly payments of principal and interest, each in the amount of $13,000.  The finance agreement is secured by a security interest in all insurance policies, all unearned premium, return premium, dividend payments and loss payments thereof.

As of July 3, 2010, we owe, in the aggregate, a principal balance of $270,000 to the third party lender that financed our property and general liability insurance policies.

(7)           INCOME TAXES:

We account for our income taxes using FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to the extent that realization of said tax benefits is more likely than not.

(8)           STOCK OPTION PLANS:

We have one stock option plan under which qualified stock options may be granted to our officers and other employees.  Under this plan, the exercise price for the qualified stock options must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date the options are granted.  In general, options granted under our stock option plan expire after a five (5) year period and generally vest no later than one (1) year from the date of grant.  As of July 3, 2010, no options to acquire shares were outstanding.  Under this plan, options to acquire an aggregate of 45,000 shares are available for grant.

No stock options were granted during the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010, nor were stock options granted during the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009.

No stock options were exercised during the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010, nor were stock options exercised during the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009.

There was no stock option activity during the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010.  During the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009, 49,350 options expired unexercised.

(9)           ACQUISITIONS:

Purchase of Company Common Stock

Pursuant to a discretionary plan approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on May 17, 2007, during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010, we purchased 18 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100.  During the third quarter ended June 27, 2009, we purchased 325 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000 from an employee.  During the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010, we purchased 1,018 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000.  Of the stock purchased, we purchase 18 shares in a private transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $131 and 1,000 shares of our common stock from the Joseph G. Flanigan Charitable Trust for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000.  During the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009, we purchased 21,400 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $87,000.  Of the shares purchased, we purchased 20,225 shares of our common stock on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $81,000, 325 shares of our common stock from an employee for a purchase price of $2,000 and 850 shares of our common stock from the Joseph G. Flanigan Charitable Trust for a purchase price of $4,000.

(10)           COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Guarantees

 
11


We guarantee various leases for franchisees and locations sold in prior years.  Remaining rental commitments required under these leases are approximately $1,081,000.  In the event of a default under any of these agreements, we will have the right to repossess the premises and operate the business to recover amounts paid under the guarantee either by liquidating assets or operating the business.

We account for such lease guarantees in accordance with ASC Topic 460 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” or FIN 45).  Under ASC Topic 460, we would be required to recognize the fair value of guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, for non-contingent guarantee obligations, and also a liability for contingent guarantee obligations based on the probability that the guaranteed party will not perform under the contractual terms of the guaranty agreement.
 
We do not believe it is probable that we will be required to perform under the remaining lease guarantees and therefore, no liability has been accrued in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Litigation
 
From time to time, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims resulting from “slip and fall” accidents, claims under federal and state laws governing access to public accommodations, employment-related claims and claims from guests alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. To date, none of this litigation, some of which is covered by insurance, has had a material effect on us.
 
We own the building where our corporate offices are located.  On April 16, 2001, we filed suit against the owner of the adjacent shopping center to determine our right to non-exclusive parking in the shopping center.  During fiscal year 2007, the appellate court affirmed and upon re-hearing, again affirmed the granting of a summary judgment in favor of the shopping center.  The seller from whom we purchased the building was named as a defendant in the lawsuit by the owner of the adjacent shopping center and we filed and served a cross-complaint against the seller.  During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2009, the seller was awarded reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $109,000 and during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the trial court denied our motion for re-consideration of a portion of the award. During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we paid the award of attorneys’ fees and costs.  During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2009, the seller filed suit against us for malicious prosecution.  During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the court denied the seller’s motion for punitive damages.  We deny the allegations and are vigorously defending against the allegations.
 
(11)           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.  No events, other than the events disclosed below, required disclosure.
 
(a)   Re-Financing of Corporate Offices
 
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we re-financed the mortgage loan encumbering our corporate offices, which mortgage loan was and continues to be extended and held by an unaffiliated third party lender. The refinanced mortgage loan is in the original principal amount of $935,000 and bears interest at a variable rate.  We entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk, which fixed the interest rate on the mortgage loan at 5.11% per annum throughout the term of the loan.  The mortgage loan is amortized over twenty (20) years, with our current monthly

 
12

 
payment of principal and interest totaling $4,500, with the entire principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest due on August 1, 2017.  We paid an $18,000 pre-payment penalty to the lender in connection with the refinancing.
 
(b)   Conversion of Line of Credit to Term Loan

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we converted the amount outstanding on our line of credit ($1,586,000) to a term loan maturing in July 2013.   The term loan is in the principal amount of $1,586,000 and bears interest at a variable interest rate.  We entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk, which fixed the interest rate on the term loan at 4.55% per annum throughout the term of the loan.  The term loan is fully amortized over three (3) years, with our monthly payment of principal and interest, totaling $45,000.  We granted our lender a security interest in substantially all of our assets and a second mortgage on our corporate offices as collateral to secure our repayment obligations under our term loan. Since the line of credit was re-financed for a period of time in excess of twelve (12) months, it has been re-classified as long term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(c)   Purchase of Real Property and Improvements – Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party, the real property and building where our restaurant located at 2600 W. Davie Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, (Store #22), operates pursuant to an option to purchase contained in our lease agreement.  We paid $1,700,000 for this property, all cash at closing.

(d)   Execution of New Lease for Existing Location

Stuart, Florida

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, the limited partnership which owns the restaurant in the “Howard Johnson’s Hotel” in Stuart, Florida entered into a new lease with the lender which acquired ownership of the property through foreclosure.  The term of the lease is three (3) years, with one (1) three (3) year renewal option and the annual rent is subject to fixed annual increases.

(12)           BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

We operate principally in two reportable segments – package stores and restaurants.  The operation of package stores consists of retail liquor sales and related items.  Information concerning the revenues and operating income for the thirteen weeks and thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, and identifiable assets for the two reportable segments in which we operate, are shown in the following table.  Operating income is total revenue less cost of merchandise sold and operating expenses relative to each segment.  In computing operating income, none of the following items have been included: interest expense, other non-operating income and expenses and income taxes.  Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in our operations in each segment.  Corporate assets are principally cash and real property, improvements, furniture, equipment and vehicles used at our corporate headquarters.  We do not have any operations outside of the United States and transactions between restaurants and package liquor stores are not material.

Notes:
(1) During the first quarter of our 2010 fiscal year end, we purchased from a franchisee the operating restaurant assets of the franchised restaurant located in Boca Raton, Florida and accordingly, on October 18, 2009 the restaurant converted from a franchised unit to a company owned restaurant.

(2) We operate a restaurant for one (1) franchisee.  This unit is included in the table both as a franchised restaurant, as well as a restaurant operated by us.
 
Franchise Financial Arrangement:  In exchange for our providing management and related services to our franchisees and granting them the right to use our service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” and “Big Daddy’s Liquors”, our franchisees (four of which are franchised to members of the family of our Chairman of the Board, officers and/or directors), are required to (i) pay to us a royalty equal to 1% of gross package sales and 3% of gross restaurant sales; and (ii) make advertising expenditures equal to between 1.5% to 3% of all gross sales based upon our actual advertising costs allocated between stores, pro-rata, based upon gross sales.   
 
Limited Partnership Financial Arrangement:  We manage and control the operations of all restaurants owned by limited partnerships, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant which is owned and managed by a related franchisee.  Accordingly, the results of operations of all limited partnership owned restaurants, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are consolidated into our operations for accounting purposes.  The results of operations of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are accounted
 
16

  
for by us utilizing the equity method.  In general, until the investors’ cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us and our affiliates) is returned in full, the limited partnership distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us.  Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee, with the balance distributed to the investors.  Once the investors in the limited partnership have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee is payable to us equal to one-half (½) of available cash to the limited partnership, with the other one half (½) of available cash distributed to the investors (including us and our affiliates).  As of July 3, 2010, limited partnerships owning three (3) restaurants, (Surfside, Florida, Kendall, Florida and West Miami, Florida locations), have returned all cash invested and we receive an annual management fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by the limited partnership.  In addition to its receipt of distributable amounts from the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of the service mark “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill”.

Comparison of Thirteen Weeks Ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009.

Revenues.  Total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased $883,000 or 5.35% to $17,374,000 from $16,491,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.   This increase resulted from sales from our formerly franchised Boca Raton, Florida restaurant ($757,000), which opened for business as a Company owned restaurant on October 18, 2009, offset by the decrease in franchise royalties and bookkeeping fees which otherwise would have been paid by the former franchisee, ($29,000).  Without giving effect to the increased revenue generated by the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant becoming a company owned restaurant as opposed to a franchise, total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 would have increased $155,000 or 0.94% to $16,646,000 from $16,491,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.

Restaurant Food Sales.  Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food at restaurants (food sales) totaled $11,247,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $10,653,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.  The increase in food sales resulted from sales from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, which generated $572,000 of food sales during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010.  Without giving effect to the food sales generated from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant operating as a Company owned restaurant as opposed to a franchise, ($572,000), food sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010, would have increased $18,000 or 0.17% to $10, 671,000 from $10,653,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.  Comparable weekly food sales (for restaurants open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009, which consists of seven restaurants owned by us and nine restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $813,000 and $819,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively, a decrease of 0.73%.  Comparable weekly food sales for Company owned restaurants (open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $306,000 and $310,000 for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and the third quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, a decrease of 1.29%.  Comparable weekly food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants, (open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $507,000 and $509,000 for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and the third quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, a decrease of 0.39%.  We anticipate that food sales will continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 due to, among other things, the operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant.   

Restaurant Bar Sales.  Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants (bar sales) totaled $2,864,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $2,536,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.  The increase in bar sales resulted from sales from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, which generated $185,000 of bar sales during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010, as well as our new promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing), instituted during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010.  Without giving effect to the bar sales generated from the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant becoming a Company owned restaurant as opposed to a franchise, ($185,000), bar sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010, would have increased $143,000 or 5.64% to $2,679,000 from $2,536,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.  Comparable weekly bar sales (for restaurants open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009, which consists of seven restaurants owned by us and nine restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships) was $206,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 and $195,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009, an increase of 5.64%.  Comparable weekly bar sales for Company owned restaurants,  (open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $77,000 and $75,000 for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and the third quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, an increase of 2.67%.  Comparable weekly bar sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants,  (open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $128,000 and $120,000 for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and the third quarter of our fiscal year 2009, respectively, an increase of 6.67%.  We anticipate that bar sales will continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 primarily

because of the bar sales from our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, as well as an increase in same store bar sales because of a new promotion, (half price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing), instituted during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010.
 
Package Store Sales.  Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores (package store sales) totaled $2,963,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $2,925,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009, an increase of $38,000.  The weekly average of same store package store sales, (which includes all nine (9) Company owned package liquor stores open for all of the third quarter of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009), was $228,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $225,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009, an increase of 1.33%.  Package store sales are expected to remain stable throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010.
 
Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses, (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative expenses), for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased $499,000 or 3.15% to $16,340,000 from $15,841,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to the operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant of approximately $434,000 and to a lesser extent a general increase in food costs, offset by actions taken by management to reduce and/or control costs and expenses.  We anticipate that our operating costs and expenses will continue to increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 due primarily to the operating costs and expenses associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant and among other things, an expected general increase in food costs, offset by a decrease in the cost of ribs.  Operating costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total sales to approximately 94.05% in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010 from 96.06% in the third quarter of our fiscal year 2009

margin for package store sales to remain constant throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010 as we expect to continue purchasing “close out” and inventory reduction merchandise from wholesalers.

University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), the real property and building of which we purchased during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and a decrease in the rent paid for our restaurant located at 1550 W. 84th Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9) during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010.  We anticipate that our occupancy costs will increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the occupancy cost associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, offset by the elimination of rent paid for our combination restaurant and package liquor store located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19) and a decrease in the rent paid for our restaurant located at 1550 W. 84th Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9).

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was $604,000 and $603,000 respectively.  As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense was 3.48% of revenue in the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 and 3.66% of revenue in the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.

University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), which mortgage did not exist during the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2009.  The interest expense and principal balance on our line of credit were approximately equal during the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009.

Comparison of Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009.

Package Store Sales.  Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package stores (package store sales) totaled $10,151,000 for the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 as compared to $9,788,000 for the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009, an increase of $363,000.  The weekly average of same store package store sales, (which includes all nine (9) Company owned package liquor stores open for all of the thirty nine weeks of our fiscal years 2010 and 2009) was $260,000 and $251,000 for the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, respectively, an increase of 3.59%.  Package liquor store sales are expected to remain stable throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010.

price drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing).  We have not increased menu prices since the first quarter of our fiscal year 2008 to offset higher food costs.
 
           Package Store Sales.  Gross profit for package store sales for the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased to $3,377,000 from $3,048,000 for the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009.  Our gross profit margin, (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package store sales), was 33.27% for the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 compared to 31.14% for the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009.  The increase in our gross profit margin, (2.13%), was primarily due to the purchase of "close out" and inventory reduction merchandise from wholesalers.

Payroll and Related Costs. Payroll and related costs for the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 increased $880,000 or 5.99% to $15,580,000 from $14,700,000 for the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009 due primarily to the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant being open during the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010, ($675,000), and an increase in officers’ bonus, ($234,000), offset by a reduction of our store level management.  We anticipate that our payroll costs and related expenses will increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the payroll and related costs and expenses associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant.  Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total sales was 29.13% for the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 and 29.11% of total sales for the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009.

University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19), the real property and building of which we purchased during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and a decrease in the rent paid for our restaurant located at 1550 W. 84th Street, Hialeah, Florida (Store #9), at the start of the second quarter of our fiscal year 2010.  We anticipate that our occupancy costs will increase throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the occupancy cost associated with our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, offset by the elimination of rent paid for our combination restaurant and package liquor store located at 2505 N.

This decrease is due primarily to reduced advertising expense and property and workers compensation insurance expenses, offset by the selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the operation of the Boca Raton, Florida restaurant and an overall increase in expenses.  We anticipate that throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses will be consistent with our prior fiscal year, with increases attributed to the operation of our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant offset by decreases in advertising and insurance expense.

University Drive, Hollywood, Florida (Store #19),which mortgage did not exist during the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009.  The interest expense and principal balance on our line of credit were approximately equal during the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009.

New Limited Partnership Restaurants

During the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010 and the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009, we did not have a new restaurant location in the development stage and did not recognize any pre-opening costs.

While we currently have no new restaurants under development, if we are to open new restaurants, our income from operations will be adversely affected due to our obligation to fund pre-opening costs, including but not limited to pre-opening rent for the new locations.  We believe that our current cash on hand, together with our expected cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

Trends

During the next twelve months, we expect continued increases in aggregate food sales and bar sales as compared to prior periods primarily due to our Boca Raton, Florida restaurant, as well as an increase in same store food sales and bar sales because of a new promotion, (50% drinks from 9:00 p.m. to closing), instituted during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010.  However, we expect same store food sales to decline over the next twelve month period due primarily to the current domestic and global financial crisis and increased competition.  We expect package store sales to remain stable.  We expect higher food costs and higher overall expenses, which will adversely affect our net income.  In December, 2007, we raised menu prices to offset the higher food costs and overall expenses.  During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 and again subsequent to the end of our third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we raised certain of our alcoholic drink prices.  We plan to limit menu price increases as long as possible while maintaining our high quality of food and service and without reducing our food portions.  We have limited our advertising, but plan to attract and retain our customers by offering promotional gift cards, but are monitoring the impact of such discounts on our gross profit.  We may be required to raise menu prices wherever competitively possible.

 
24


Although we have no new restaurant in development, we continue to search for new locations to open restaurants and thereby expand our business, but we are now looking for locations that will not require an extensive and costly renovation.  Any new locations will likely be opened using our limited partnership ownership model.
 
We are not actively searching for locations for the operation of new package liquor stores, but if an appropriate location for a package liquor store becomes available, we will consider it.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We fund our operations through cash from operations and borrowings under our term loan (recently converted from a line of credit).  As of July 3, 2010, we had cash of approximately $7,045,000, an increase of $2,465,000 from our cash balance of $4,580,000 as of October 3, 2009.  The increase in cash as of July 3, 2010 was primarily from our operations and due to minimal demand upon our cash flow for extraordinary items. We believe that our current cash on hand and expected cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

The following table is a summary of our cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

Capital Expenditures

In addition to using cash for our operating expenses, we use cash to fund the development and construction of new restaurants and to fund capitalized property improvements for our existing restaurants.  We acquired property and equipment of $2,560,000, (including $850,000 of which was financed, $99,000 of which was the non-cash purchase of the assets of the franchised restaurant and $20,000 of deposits recorded in other assets as of October 3, 2009), during the thirty nine weeks ended July 3, 2010, and including $690,000 for renovations to two (2) existing Company owned restaurants.  During the thirty nine weeks ended June 27, 2009, we acquired property and equipment of $1,538,000,

(including $292,000 of deposits recorded in other assets as of September 27, 2008), including $690,000 for renovations to two (2) existing Company owned restaurants.
 
All of our owned units require periodic refurbishing in order to remain competitive. We anticipate the cost of this refurbishment in our fiscal year 2010 to be approximately $565,000, of which $419,000 has been spent through July 3, 2010.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party, the real property and building where our restaurant located at 2600 W. Davie Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, (Store #22), operates pursuant to an option to purchase contained in our lease agreement.  We paid $1,700,000 for this property, all cash at closing.

Long Term Debt

As of July 3, 2010, we had long term debt, (including our line of credit), of $7,354,000, as compared to $7,063,000 as of June 27, 2009, and $6,800,000 as of October 3, 2009.  

Through June 5, 2010, under a secured line of credit with a third party financial institution we were able to borrow up to $2,500,000, subject to certain conditions.  The outstanding balance on this line of credit bore interest at BBA LIBOR 1 month rate, plus 2.25%, (2.600% as of July 3, 2010), with monthly payments of interest only required to be made and the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest due in full on June 5, 2010.  We granted our lender a security interest in substantially all of our assets and a second mortgage on our corporate offices as collateral to secure our repayment obligations under our credit line.  During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, we paid monthly installments of interest payments, with no borrowings or principal payments.  As of July 3, 2010, the amount outstanding under the line of credit was $1,586,000, with no remaining availability.

In July, 2010, we converted the amount outstanding on our line of credit ($1,586,000) to a term loan maturing in July, 2013.  The term loan is in the principal amount of $1,586,000 and bears interest at a variable interest rate.  We entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk, which fixed the interest rate on the term loan at 4.55% per annum throughout the term of the loan.  The term loan is fully amortized over three (3) years, with our monthly payment of principal and interest, totaling $45,000.  We granted our lender a security interest in substantially all of our assets and a second mortgage on our corporate offices as collateral to secure our repayment obligations under our term loan. Since the line of credit was re-financed for a period of time in excess of twelve (12) months, it has been re-classified as long term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Purchase Commitments

In order to fix the cost and ensure adequate supply of baby back ribs for our restaurants, on October 21, 2009, we entered into a purchase agreement with our rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately $3,200,000 of baby back ribs during calendar year 2010 from this vendor at a fixed cost.  While we anticipate purchasing all of our rib supply from this vendor, we believe there are several other alternative vendors available, if needed.

Working Capital

The table below summarizes the current assets, current liabilities, and working capital for our fiscal quarters ended July 3, 2010, June 27, 2009 and our fiscal year ended October 3, 2009.

Our working capital as of July 3, 2010 increased by 130.93% from the working capital for the fiscal quarter ending June 27, 2009 and increased by 112.12% from our working capital for our fiscal year ending October 3, 2009.  Our working capital increased during our fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2010 from our working capital for our fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2009 and our fiscal year ended October 3, 2009, due to the re-classification of our line of credit as long term debt and notwithstanding our use of approximately $525,000 in connection with our acquisition of the real property and building where our combination restaurant and package liquor store located at 2505 N. University Drive, Hollywood, Florida, (Store #19) operates.

While there can be no assurance due to, among other things, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated decline in revenues, or both, we believe that our cash on hand and positive cash flow from operations will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned capital expenditures throughout the balance of our fiscal year 2010.  Our working capital will be affected by our use of approximately $1,700,000 in connection with our acquisition of the real property and building where our restaurant located at 2600 W. Davie Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, (Store #22) operates, which acquisition took place subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010.  We are attempting to offset this by acquiring a mortgage loan on the real property, in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000.  In addition, we continue to make payments to satisfy the balance owed on our purchase of a surveillance camera system ($53,000).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations are food, beverage and labor costs.  A large number of restaurant personnel are paid at rates based upon applicable minimum wage and increases in minimum wage directly affect labor costs.  To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our operating results, but this circumstance may change in the future if food and fuel costs continue to rise.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes and as of July 3, 2010 held no equity securities.

Interest Rate Risk

At July 3, 2010, of the Company’s debt arrangements, only borrowings under our line of credit bore interest at a variable rate: BBA LIBOR 1 month rate, plus 2.25%.  Increases in interest rates may have a material affect upon results of operations, depending upon the outstanding principal balance on our line of credit from time to time.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of our fiscal year 2010, our line of credit was converted to a term loan maturing in July, 2013 and we refinanced the mortgage loan encumbering our corporate offices.  Both loans bear interest at variable rates, but we entered into separate interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate risks.  As a result, both loans have fixed interest rates throughout their respective terms and increases in interest rates will not have a material effect upon our results of operations.

 
27


At July 3, 2010, our cash resources earn interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our return on these funds is affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on evaluations as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our management team, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Permitted Omission from Management’s Assessment

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls.  Accordingly, even effective internal controls can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, we have not made any change to our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
